Op shop prices are an interesting topic. I was talking to a friend the other day who volunteers at one (inner city), and she said they got so many people buying things to resell at a big margin, that they put the prices up so at least they got the $ for their charity and people who needed it. If anyone who comes in is really struggling, they will give them clothes etc for free.

Just a slow housework and gardening kind of day.
And I have another bag of stuff to take to the op shop, good stuff so I will take to the small shop, the one that does not extort buyers.

@Seagoon_ @Baku which op shop is this? I like promoting good small op shops over the majors.
